Sear, accursed spellchecker.
Morning all.
Lidl have their Dremel fit sets in stock today.
One of these sets is a polishing set that has several shapes of green tipped tools that appear to be grindstones.
These are actually some sort of rubber with a polishing compound in it.
They are the absolute bees knees for bringing metal parts to a mirror finish and do so after only a very minor touch.
£3.99 or 2 for £6!
IMHO based on experience not worth the money.
Better stick with quality tools.
As above, very fine wet and dry, 1000 grade, then 1500 grade, final polish with toothpaste.
The Early Bird May Get The Worm, But It's The Second Mouse That Gets The Cheese !!
These really do work well but on trigger sears I never use them as I like to try and keep the shape as close to original as possible and wet dry followed by autosol on a flat surface is more precise.
Those in 60+ age group will remember ink rubbers. Used to wreck your paper but great for shining up steel similar to what you describe.
might be useful for air rifle cylinders,my old gunsmith used polishing stones for trigger sears on S&W and Colts
